      These are “guilty pleasure” films? I was always quite vocal about how great many of them were over the years.

      I haven’t seen most of these but Starship Troopers is just a good movie. Nothing guilty about it.

        Took my wife to see starship troopers in the theater. She absolutely hates bugs,and I did not think about the aliens being bugs. Made the movie that much better(for me,at least). I’m surprised I left the theater alive,lol.

      Alien: Resurrection is considered a low point in the franchise.

      I love it though, for a few reasons. One, the director is Jeunet, who also did Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, and Amelie.

      Two, the basketball shot made by Ripley was a single take.

      Three, there’s a scene late in the movie where Ripley finds a room of failed clones of her. One begs Ripley to kill her.

      And I have, for years, wanted a version of that scene as an M&M commercial.

      One M&M finds a mutated mess of a failed copy of it and hears “Eat meeeeeee…”

          I just wanted an excuse to pitch my M&M commercial.

          But I agree they didn’t stick the landing at all.

      I just watched Wing Commander for the first time and I have to say it’s a shit movie.

        Let me rephrase to an accurate statement.
        I just watched Wing Commander for the first time and I have to say, seems like a shit movie to me.

        Your opinion isn’t an objective determination of it’s quality.

          Then rephrase your original comment as well.

          Subjectivity is implied

    I can see wing commander being a guilty pleasure. Its not great,but it is good,and its a movie you watch for enjoyment,not as a fan. I loved the game,so I’m a little biased,though. Event horizon is a good movie. The only problem with it is the primitive cg. For its time it was incredible,but didn’t age well. Look past that and its a good time.
